Hi, I am aware of Commotion-OpenBTS and I even gave it a try, however for some reason it does not detect my usrp1. Are there more detailed instructions on how to use it? I simply put it on a USB stick with unetbootin, no persistance (adding persistance would be nice). When booted it does the configuration succesfully, but what to do after that ? Commotion-OpenBTS is a great idea, if I could only get it to work.

Alexander, Will GnuRadio 3.6 work with usrp1 and osmoBTS or openBTS? I am also intalling osmobts on another computer, but that is causing me a lot of problems. ortp and srtp seem to be conflicting with libosip2-dev and libortp-dev from ubuntu and when I install http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/linphone/ortp/sources/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/sofia-sip/files/sofia-sip/ I get problems compiling OpenBTS and some other software. So it looks like OpenBTS and OsmoBTS cannot coexist on one computer. At least not on my. Too many versions keep confusing me. i.e. openbts-P2.8.0Opelousas.tar.gz from http://sourceforge.net/projects/openbts/files/2.8.0/ for some reason doesn't understand "--with-usrp1 --with-singledb" switches but openbts 2.8 downloaded from other sources has no problems with that.

This is a easy solution here:

Commotion-OpenBTS

==Introduction==

Commotion-OpenBTS is packaged as a customized x86 Ubuntu Linux distribution. It comes as a live image that can be booted from a USB drive or CD. This repository contains resources used to create the Commotion-OpenBTS image.

The purpose of this software is to allow voice calls over a Commotion wireless mesh network. Phone calls can be made between GSM unlocked phones, or between GSM unlocked phones and phones meshing over WiFi with the Serval "Batphone" software.

In order to use Commotion-OpenBTS, you need a compatible GSM hardware transceiver. Currently, compatible hardware includes the Range RAD1; the Ettus USRP1, USRP2, N200 series, B100 series, and E100 series; and the Fairwaves UmTRX.

==How to Run It==

To run Commotion-OpenBTS, download the ISO file at https://commotionwireless.net/download, and load it onto a USB drive using unetbootin, or your tool of choice. You can then boot from the USB drive with your laptop or desktop computer, with your GSM radio attached. Once the OS is loaded, a configuration wizard asks you what type of GSM hardware you have, and configures the proper driver. After that, everything should be running, and you can start making calls!

==Components==

Commotion-OpenBTS includes the following open source software components:

• OpenBTS (http://wush.net/trac/rangepublic/browser)
• OLSRd (http://olsr.org/git/?p=olsrd.git;a=summary)
• Serval (https://github.com/servalproject/serval-dna)
• Asterisk (http://www.asterisk.org/downloads/source-code)

http://files.opentechinstitute.org/~critzo/commotion/Commotion-OpenBTS-x86.i...

Just utilize the Commotion-OpenBTS-x86.iso and it *should* work for both the USRP1 and the UmTRX.

Only one application can access the SDR device of your choice at a time.

That's the nature of OpenBTS.

Sincerely,

Martin

Hi, Can someone point me to the current repo of UHD, openBTS and Gnuradio ? I found several locations especially for openBTS and UHD i.e.: "-b gprs-exp https://github.com/fairwaves/openbts-2.8.git" "-b gprs-exp https://github.com/chemeris/openbts-p2.8.git" "-b umtrx https://github.com/chemeris/openbts-p2.8.git" So which one of the above is correct?

"https://github.com/chemeris/UHD-Fairwaves.git" "https://github.com/fairwaves/UHD-Fairwaves.git" Again, which one of the above is correct?

I assume the below is correct: "wget http://gnuradio.org/redmine/attachments/download/279/gnuradio-3.4.2.tar.gz "

I need a version of UHD, openBTS and Gnuradio that will run with both USRP1 and UmTRX at the same time. I mean, one of them connected at a time, but I do not want to have two computers with separate installations for usrp1 and UmTRX. Can I configure openBTS with --with-usrp1 --with-singledb --with-uhd ? I mean, can I enable usrp1 and uhd at the same time ? How to switch then between usrp1 and UmTRX ?
